Unpredictable murder-mystery grips from the start.
Widow in the frame

DECISION TO LEAVE directed by Park Chan-wook

Park Chan-wook (Stoker, Oldboy) deservedly won Best Director at Cannes this year for twisting the traditional elements of hard-boiled police procedurals - the obsessed cop, the femme fatale, the plot full of red herrings - into one of the finest examples of cinematic technique we've seen in years.

When a seasoned rockclimber takes an apparent tumble to his death, his beautiful and unsurprised wife becomes not just the prime suspect in a murder investigation, but an object of fascination for its lead detective.
